Earlier last week I wrote an article about How Commenting Can Increase Traffic To Your Blog. If you haven’t read that article yet, I strongly recommend that you do because the information in this article is related to that. In this article I want to teach you the about why it is important to be the first person to comment on blog posts from blogs that are related to the affiliate products and services you sell. As you may know, my focus this month is on offering advice and tips on how you can increase traffic to your site.

As mentioned in my previous article, commenting is a very easy and effective way to score traffic to your own blog, web site, or landing page which promotes affiliate based products and services. Contributing and befriending people who have related interests to the products and services you sell is an excellent tool of affiliate marketing. The more people you know, the more likely your odds are in getting not only sales but repeat business. Secondly, the more people you know, the more likely you are to receive help when you need it.

Being the first to comment on a blog post is very important because in the simplest form of this strangely, the first person to comment will get the most traffic. Within that there are additional reasons why it is important. Being the first to comment also massively increases branding. Most all blogs today auto display avatars within the comments. You should indeed invest the time towards creating an avatar that compliments your brand so that people can get exposed to your brand and so that your brand starts to get recognized within the community.

You will find that over time, people will begin to recognize you and if in the past you have contributed comments and content that appeals to them, they will be very likely to tune in and see what you have to say in the future. Your avatar places a huge roll in giving others a visual aid in finding you within these blogging communities.

Being the first to comment also shows your dedication and commitment within the community of blogs you contribute on. With that said, here is an easy way to make sure that you are the first to comment within your chosen niche of around 10 to 15 blogs. The best way to make sure you are the first to comment is to eventually make friends with the blog authors of the sites you like to comment on. If possible, you should establish a connection with them using instant messengers.

Blog authors want people to contribute and comment on their blogs. If you communicate to the blog author that you are willing to be active on their blog, they may be willing to send you an instant message immediately after they publish an article. Having the author tip you off allows you the opportunity to become the first person to comment.

Other ways include subscribing to the RSS feed of the blogs that interest you. Many blogs also include a way to receive a notification by email. Keep in mind though that the email notification services are usually delayed by a day. Another way to assure that you are the first to comment is to try to stop by and visit these blogs a few times each day. Making your rounds across a small network of 10 to 15 blogs towards checking to see if new articles have been written should only take a few minutes.
